The Rule of Lawyers:

Walter Olson’s Rule of Lawyers: How the New Litigation Elite Threatens America’s Rule of Law is out in paperback. If you didn’t catch the hardback, you have a second,cheaper, chance to The buy the book. I highly recommend it, both for its comprehensive tour of the litigation fiascoes of our time–such as breast implants, tobacco, and asbestos–and because, like Wally’s other books, it’s entertaining and well-written.
